Webex Calling is best described as which service?

• A. Cisco's cloud-based PBX/calling service
• B. A local PSTN gateway device
• C. A desktop softphone application
• D. An on-premises dial plan manager

Answer: (A)

Webex Calling is Cisco’s cloud-based hosted telephony service that provides enterprise PBX functionality from the cloud. It handles call processing and routing, voicemail, auto-attendants, hunt groups, and other telephony features without requiring on-premises PBX hardware. Users connect to the service through desk phones, a softphone client, or the Webex app, all linked to the same cloud telephony platform. PSTN connectivity is delivered through cloud-based carriers or gateways as part of the service, not via a local on-prem gateway you maintain yourself. It’s not simply a desktop softphone or an on-prem dial plan manager—the essence is a cloud-based PBX/calling service.
